Re: 14 Worst Habits that Hurt Your Back

Also, they left out

Playing horsey with twin 2-4 year olds

I think it depends who's the horse and who's the rider...if the kid is the horse and you're the rider, that's an issue for both of you. If you're the horse, the issue is only for you.

I was playing 'helicopter' with my godchildren last weekend...My lower back still hasn't come back to its original position. :D

Re: 14 Worst Habits that Hurt Your Back

Oooh is that the one where you grab their arms and spin them?

When I used to coach gymnastics I would do "superman jumps" with my kids, to teach them how to properly vault off their hands. Most kids that do gymnastics are pretty trim and fit and I could easily lift over my head and hold them in position....except one. I think my back is *still* hurting from her and that was 15 years ago. :lol:

Yes. :) I'm the only one that is willing to humour that particular addiction of theirs.

:lol: I remember doing that. :) But, *ahem* it may have been a little longer than just 15 years ago.

When I see children, I really just think that I want a fraction of their enthousiasm, and energy - just a fraction. :)

No. That's where you take them up in a helicopter, look them sternly in the face, and tell them, "If you don't stop arguing and yelling by the time I count to 10, I'm going to throw both of you out the door."

:lol: :panic: Do you know how much a helicopter ride costs??? :) Doesn't it work in a car or something a little 'cheaper'. :)
